“A Person who is engaged in any activity which involves spending time, unpaid doing something which aims to benefit some third party other than, or in addition to, a close relative.”

In order for an applicant to qualify for a Volunteer CRB Check they must not:

Receive any payment (except for travel and other approved out –of-pocket expenses)

Be on a placement

Be on a course that requires them to do this job role

Be in a trainee position that will lead to a full time role or qualification

As volunteer level checks are only available at Standard or Enhanced level, they must be applied for by the organisation the applicant is volunteering for. Applicants will not be able to access volunteer CRB Checks themselves.

Any organisation can apply for CRB Checks for their members of staff. We will need to establish which level of check your employees will be eligible for.This depends on the type of work they are carrying out.

In order to find out which level of CRB Check you can access for your employees, find your sector on the drop down menu above or call Personnel Checks and speak to an experienced advisor.

Here at Personnel Checks we pride ourselves on the fact that you will always be able to speak to an advisor over the telephone as soon as you call. We have no automated telephone service; just real people on the other end of the phone taking every call.

Your dedicated Account Manager will keep you informed at every stage of the process so you always know exactly where you’re up to with all of your applicants.

We are totally committed to the best possible customer service. We deal with all requests on the same day and if you’re an organisation carrying out checks on your employees, we can speak with your applicants directly taking the hassle away from you.
